Today we are talking about the size of the local church and the impact of the local church. Two things that are not always related.

Welcome to Run With Horses. My name is Norman and my goal is to help you Thrive as a disciple of Jesus. The road often seems long but we are in this together.

The Church. God’s amazing, wonderful, frustrating, beautiful, distracted Family. Hard to live with at times, impossible to live without at others.

If the goal is getting every member involved int eh mission of Jesus it would seem that smaller churches have an advantage.

But small churches have a challenge as well.

Large churches have a place.

My thought is that disciple making is difficult in any size church. It takes intentional effort not to be distracted by the challenges of being small, or big. Disciple making is intentionally investing in the life of another person. The size of your church doesn’t matter. Your focus and your clarity of purpose do.
